Smithsonian Guide to Historic America-Desert States Edition

The purchase exceeded my expectations. It was in perfect condition and arrived promptly. I would not hesitate to purchase from this book dealer again. Many thanks.

I have the older version and it's wonderful

I have this book, but it was published in 1990. In other words, I do not have the revised and updated version. However, if this one is anything like the copy I have, it is wonderful. The full color pictures are lovely and are used to enhance the text. Although this book doesn't tell the history of these states, it visits historic places within each state. Much of the history of these four states (NM, AZ, NV, UT) is told through the landscape and historic buildings of each state. I have enjoyed every place that I have visited and my visits have only been enhanced by using this book as a resource in my travels.
